As news spread of Donald Trump's intention to boycott the Republican debate this Thursday, Ted Cruz's national press secretary tweeted out that the Texas senator wished to challenge the GOP frontrunner to a "mano a mano."
Cruz made the remarks to Mark Levin on his radio show Tuesday night. "If Donald is afraid of Megyn Kelly," Cruz said, "I would like to invite him... to participate in a one-on-one debate, between me and Donald, mano a mano."

Cruz floated Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh as possible moderators -- but he also said he'd be willing to take him on with no moderator at all, should Trump prove to be afraid of all those people too.
He pondered how Trump could be commander-in-chief if he was "terrified of a TV host."

The Cruz campaign? What? Yes I noticed.
“There is something about Cruz that makes my skin crawl ...”
Smart people have that affect on some people.
I like this. Cruz and Trumpo shake off the fleas and go freelance with a conservative moderator.
As long as it's in Canada.
I still think a Trump/Cruz ticket would crush the Beast and the Commie. Why not Cruz/Trump? For the simple reason that Trump has fangs, and will not hesitate to fight hard. Cruz is a great conservative but is too much of a gentleman.
If Cruz can show some fight and absolutely (and he'll have to) crushes Trump, I'll back him. Otherwise, I'm backing the one man who I know fights, and who resonates with the American people.
.....lol, so much for the great deal maker......pure blow hard.
He accepts as long as they are in Canada.
Levin’s not impartial. Rush would be a good moderator for a debate between the two. Would be funny to see the ratings it got if they went at the same time as Fox.
At the very least, it's great ad material for Cruz.
Why accept when it is against the RNC rules. Besides Cruz has the stage Thursday to bloviate. Trump won’t be there! It is a win for him.
Cruz couldn’t do it in the past six debates ... Cruz got his butt handed to him in the last debate and was forced to clap for Trump like a trained seal ... the Cruz camp is desperate
I’m comfortable with you thinking that.
MSM Baby those are the real Conservative Herod.
Snicker...
More excuses......your boy exposed as a coward......
Cruz is no coward out of his depth on the issues like the Donald. Cruz has never backed down from a fight against a liberal or a RINO and will never stop fighting for us conservatives.
If Cruz had any guts he would demand Fox apologize for that insulting press release. It is easier to try to look tough and have your trained monkey moderate it.
They’re going to fight hand to hand? I’ve got a sawbuck on The Donald.
That's nonsense right there, I don't care who you are.
Okay, then I can mark one more down as a. Supporter of the MSM.
grin
Cruz being a smart-alec about it, “Trump afarid of Kelly,” is playing right into Trump’s wheelhouse.
